I always thought that the Antlers was only a hotel with some converted rail cars and depot but upon further investigation, they have some very nice cottages and cabins on what is actually a very expansive property. It is perfect for family reunions or just a quiet weekend for 2. It has a restaurant (Grand Central Café) next to the hotel that serves daily breakfast and lunch and dinners on the weekend. They have a huge stretch of waterfront that affords full access to lake LBJ and its location makes day trips to numerous hill country wineries and attractions very practical. The beautiful grounds make for a very serene and relaxing setting. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for family of foxes that inhabit the property. A great place to stay for the price.

My family and I stayed at the Antlers a couple of weeks ago. My sister found the Antlers Hotel on your site, when looking for a family get away in the Hill Country.

After looking at the hotel, it was the perfect spot for us. My family and other family members booked rooms and cabins at the resort.

We could not wait to stay in this historic and charming resort; we were all so excited.

We had the time of our lives!

Words can not describe the uniqueness and beauty of the Antlers.

This was the best get away ever.. so much to see and do.

We are still talking about our stay and how impeccable every inch of the property was. Words can not describe the detail and uniqueness of every room in the hotel, depot, cabooses, cabins and restaurant.

The staff was inviting, friendly, and informative and able to accommodate and put up with some very demanding guest from my husbands side of the family. Their hospitality was a added bonus to our stay.

We noticed the property was for sale, we all hope if it is sold; the new owner will maintain the history and beauty of the Antlers. We plan to make the Antlers our annual family gathering. I plan to be back until me and my granddaughters stay in every cabin/caboose on this beautiful resort on the water.

This place is perfect. It has something for everyone. If you have a large family there is a place for you. If it is a couples retreat there is a place. And if you just want to be alone to hide-away there is a place for you! The landscaping is incredible! It is very quiet and there is a great place to swim off the dock and the water near the bank is shallow enough to let your children swim and splash around without too much worry! We stayed in a very nice/clean cabin. My granddaughter called our bedroom the princess room! The restaurant is also reasonably priced. Writing this makes me excited about our next trip!! Highly recommended!

A beautiful location and nice, clean rooms but when the A/C unit died the owners had no intention to fix it. With 105 temperatures outside it was unbearable. All makeup products and chocolate sitting in our room melted. No alterative rooms or a refund offered.

We wanted to Thank You for choosing the Antlers for your stay in Kingsland. Although we try our best to make each and every stay with us as comfortable as possible, at times things do happen.The cabin you were staying in has two AC units and sadly, one of them decided to quit late at night. We are located in a rural area, so getting someone out to do repairs that late at night is almost impossible. We do apologize for any inconvenience that might have caused you. We were fully booked that weekend so had nowhere else to move some of your guests. Luckily, the second AC unit was working so some of your group could still stay in the cabin and a couple moved over to another cabin that family members were staying in. We did offer a gift certificate for a free night's stay and are happy that your group decided to book with us again for a future date! Thank you again for giving the Antlers another try,, we will try our best to make it a wonderful time!

Hubby and I spent the weekend in the red caboose - it was SO CUTE and CHARMING! We loved climbing up into the cupola and looking out over the grounds. Comfortable décor in keeping with the railroad theme, FULLY equipped kitchen with everything you could need, tv, phone, bathroom was tiny (of course, being in a caboose) but sufficient. Everything was very, very clean. Daily maid service. Gas grill and picnic table outside each caboose (and cabin too, I think) we grilled steaks for dinner one night. The main hotel and the rest of the property seem nice, didn't really explore them too much. We had Sunday morning breakfast in the TX Chainsaw house. The menu offered plenty of variety and was fairly tasty (you might want to pass on the breakfast potatoes, just bland fried chunks of potato.) A little pricy, but worth it to me, and it's so clever and cute how all the menu items have a railroad-themed name. If you're into trains, definitely worth a visit!

I surprised my wife with a weekend getaway in the Mt. Lauarel cabin. We loved it. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the cabin was clean and peaceful. My wife can struggle with new places causing her to be uneasy, she was very relaxed and felt right at home with the cabin. We were just a short walk away from the lake front and beautiful scenery. The grounds are great to walk around. Hawks come in at dusk to rest in a nest of trees. We saw a fox one night running free and enjoyed a bullfrog during sunset one night. The back patio is great, just loved it and we cooked out burgers one night.

Only minor improvements would be a little bigger TV and a WI-FI connection somewhere on the grounds. But those were not enough to knock my rating down as we had one of the most relaxing weekends of recent memory together.

We highly recommend staying here.

Room Tip: Such an eclectic range of rooms from the cabins, to the hotel rooms to the train rooms it is really...

The Antlers Hotel is absolutely beautiful! We stayed in the Antlers Suite and loved the hardwood floors, period lighting, beautiful furniture, claw foot tub, etc. The room was quiet, very clean and the king size bed was very comfortable. The surrounding property is gorgeous and we enjoyed a two minute walk down to the water and Hoover Cabin. The staff at the Antlers is friendly and made us feel genuinely welcome. I would give the Antlers Hotel 5+ stars except for two small details for our particular situation. We're early risers and really need coffee in our room. It's only available in the kitchen of the main building after 8:00 a.m. It would also have been nice to have a TV in the bedroom, not just a tiny one in the adjoining sitting area. Small things, but significant to us. We'll definitely be back (but next time with our own coffee maker)!!!

Room Tip: The Antlers Suite was beautiful, but bring your own coffee maker and don't plan to watch TV (onl...
